Ninrit labor Labor overcomes all things This means when di. rected by wisdom and prudence, and Is in keeping with the laws ot nature, and nature'S God. Labor is honorable, and the little Chat the poor man hath. Is better than much that the rich man hath. The poor man has more promises, and great. CT assurances of Gods blessings in the hereafter, than does the rich man. Soun'ai God created man, and placed him in the garden of Eden, the devil under the guise Of a serpent, appeared unto Eve in the garden of paradise, and "Said unto the wnman:" God is robbing you of part of your liberty, and if you aud Adam don't get up a grand strike at once, you and your children will become ''peon's and slaves" God knows, says the devil Eye shall not surely die" The devil says, God is deceiving u. day ye eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the gar den, ye shall not surely die, but your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be like gods knowing good aud evil.' So Eve hardened unto the voice of the devil, aud did eat of the fruit of the garden, thereby sowing the seed of death and de- struction to all the posterity of A dams race. Now, if the devil could approach Eve, In the garden of Eden, where she was Surrouded with every tree 5hat was pleasant to the sight and good for food and the fumes of fragrant flowers, and the grandeSt aud most sublime scenery that ever surrounded man where he wanted tor nothing aud caused Eve to feel so mean and miserable, that she put forth her hand and partook of the for biddcn fruit, bringing and entail ing misery and death upon the
 whole human family, how much more shall such agitatorS, and throwerS of tirebrandS as Mir.

 Harper has been called an ap. postle of liberty. The Lord save the mark, 1.-the country is going to the devil as he says 1t is, and better men than he is, can't be found to save it-then she is gone, world without end-Amen. Mir Harper reviews the history of the late war, in which he was an ac- tive participant, and we are glad to know that he was on the side of the government and for his country in that great struggle. Yet nearly twenty five years after that period, he gets his back up and proposes to go back on the very record that he helped to make dnring the war, and which has since been accep- ted by the great mass of the A merican people and is to large extent being carried out by the present administration in carrying on the government In other words, Mir. Harper. and his follow CTS seem to be greatly incenscd because the two and the only two great parties of the country don't keep up the bloody shirt cry and the rebel yell. One moment he will tell his hearers, that the two old parties as he is pleased to de- nominate them, are just the same, Forgetting himself few minutes later later, he will tell you that they are still crying bloody shirt. bloody shirt, rebel! rebel! About this time he is trying to make some one think that he represents d third party when the fact is, he simply represents a faction ofmal- contents, who have nothing to lose and all to gain, by joining such a complex combination. A man who boasts of having told his story more than four thousand times, and cant tell it, so as to at least en, certain and tickle his many unso- phisticated hearers, would certain ly be very dull indeed. Mir. Har- per's baboonry, butfoonery and monkey shines, may be taken by some people for lessons of wisdom and statesmanShip, but among thinkers and men of any consider. able information they will go as the chaff before the wind. He pretendS to come as d representa-. tive and champion of the laboring man. Did he tell us where he had labored! Did he show us by his calloused hands, that he procured his "bread in the sweat of his tace2n According to his own statement, he has been iu the fo- Ium for more than thirty years and has always been among the first to join in any new fangled en- terprlSe, In other words to sum the whole matter up, he has been jack of all trades. except to work or labor with his hands) and he has retroeraded from l7 years practice as lawyer in the Su. preme court of the United States, (which is one of the most sublime and learned tribunals in the world) to vulgar and protane politician of low degree making speeches for
